WTB MANUAL BINDINGS

[Bernie Arcand]

If you're not a "purist", you could take some scotch magic mending tape and 
put a strip on both sides of each sheet, covering the holes, then run all 
sheets through the modern hole-punching machine with new spacings and a new 
spine.  Luckily, our local telephone cooperative has all diameters, a 
variety of covers, and lets me use it anytime I want.  Part of the 
"retirement package" instead of a 10 million dollar severence bonus!!

> spaced every 9/16 of an inch.  The old manuals have 22 tines which are 
> spaced every 1/2 inch.  According to GBC the smaller size that I need 
> hasn't been made is about 40 years.

> If anyone has any of these bindings lying around (must be at least 5/8 
> diameter to hold the manual), I would like to buy at least 2 of them.   Or 
> if anyone knows where to get them today, please let me know.
